Questions about Nuclear Security Summit 1
Q1. What is Nuclear Security Summit?
Nuclear Security Summit, which the highest level of forum that aims to stop nuclear terrorism, is a convention to strenghthen the world's protection management and international cooperation in order to prevent nuclear materials and facilities from terrorist groups.
US president Obama declared that he will make an effort to safely secure vulnerable nuclear materials in four years. As a result, in April of 2010, the first Nuclear Security Summit was held in Washington.
-The concept of nuclear security
It is to prevent direct and indirect threats from nuclear materials, radioactive substances, and related facilities or activities. When the threat occurs, it blocks the threat by detecting and delaying
Q2. Is Nuclear Security Summit such a big issue to be discussed by 50 countries?
In the modern era, nuclear terrorism is one of the most serious threat. Even one single nuclear terror will result in mass destruction, immense suffering, and unwanted change forever. We need to act on preventing such disaster.
UN secretary general Ban Ki-Moon (2007. 6)
Nuclear terrorism is a real threat, not imaginary.
9/11 terror, which hit downtown skyscraper with commercial aircraft showed us that terrorism using WMD such as nuclear weapon have become a real threat.
The awareness of threats caused by nuclear terrorism may differ among nations, but worst scenario should always be considered for security matters. Also it is clever to prepare nuclear or dirty bomb terrorism though is has possibility of 0.01%.
Unchanging milieu against terrorist threats.
It is generally evaluated that terrorism eradicating environment has not improved after the Osama Bin Laden death.
For non-state entities, such as terrorists, to make nuclear weapons, there must be preceding secret process which includes acquisition of nuclear materials, producing weapon, and border crossing illegal trading, which cannot be regulated by a single country.
Therefore cooperation among nations is absolutely needed, such as border control and mutual investigation.
Nuclear terrorism is a challenge for international society.
Nowaday, in the age of globalization, as interdependence between nations is intensifying, nuclear terrorism is a big challenge for all international society, not just for US and the western nations. And South Korea is not an exception.
Nuclear Security Summit, the heads of world leading countries gather in one space to share their knowledge about nuclear terrorism, and discuss measures to prevent this terrorism carries an very important meaning.
Q3. Has nuclear security been discusssed recently?
It has been discussed since 1960s
No. Nuclear security is that the international movement of nuclear materials has been active since the peaceful use of nuclwear energy increased in the late 1960s. The goal of nucelar security is to protect stealing of nuclear materials and ensure the supply of nuclear fuel.
Raise the necessity after the Cold War ended
Since then, nuclear materials in the former Soviet Union and management issues of nuclear facilities became an important topic as the Cold War ended in the early 1990s and the goal of nuclear security was to discard, reduce and protect nuclear materials·facilities in the same region at that time.
Realistic necessity significantly increased after 9·11 attack
The possible abuse of nuclear materials and facilities by terrorist groups became the most realistic threat after 9·11 attack in 2001 and nuclear security has been emphasized to deal with nuclear terrorism.
Q4. Is it actually possible for terrorists to use nuclear weapons?
Terrorists' use of nuclear weapons is a real threat
It is known that 25 kg of highly enriched uranium or 8 kg of plutonium is needed to build a single nuclear weapon.
So it is important that uranium or plutonium does not get into the hands of the terrorists and gets used to make nuclear weapons.
Nuclear materials that can make 126,500 nuclear weapons are scattered all around the globe
Currently, there are 1,600 tons of highly enriched uranium and 500 tons of plutonium available around the world. With this much nuclear material, approximately 126,500 nuclear weapons can be made.
If terrorists can detonate a single nuclear weapon in the middle of a city, hundreds and thousands of people will die and financial systems around the world will stop, causing a catastrophic disaster.
Also, the damange done to the politics, environment, world, and people's psychology
Q5. What are the main results of The First Washington Nuclear Security Summit?
Adoption of the summit declaration 'Washington Communiqué'
Declared, "Nuclear terrorism is one of the most challenging threats to the international security, and strong nuclear security action is the most effective measure to prevent the acquisition of nuclear meterials by terrorists."
Agreement on 'Work Plan'
Agreed on 50 detailed cooperative nuclear security measures in 11 fields through seperate Work Plan document.
Contribution of the Republic of Korea(ROK)
Another main outcome that had been focused in the Washigton Summit is that about 30 participating nations have stated national commitment, or 'house gift' country-by-country, which includes collection and minimization of high-enriched uranium, ratification of nuclear security related agreements, expansion of contribution on IAEA nuclear security fund, joining GICNT and establishment of nuclear security training centers etc.
ROK has received good appraisal from participating nations by announcing opening of the GICNT general assembly and establishment plan of international nuclear security education training center within ROK as a part of measures on contribution to strengten the international nuclear security system.

KoreanPride: Evidences of Sea of Corea!: Sea of Japan? No, it's East Sea or Sea of Korea!! - J. Robinson(영국)에 의한 1799년 지도. 동해를 Sea of Corea로 표기 1799 by J. Robinson, London, s...
18th century British map show Sea of Japan as Sea of Corea
div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
18th century British map show Sea of Japan as Sea of Corea
East Sea or Sea of Japan? It should be called Sea of Korea according to Int'l sea naming convention and rule. Korean government should claim the sea as 'Sea of Korea', Daemado (Tsushima), Okinawa and Kyushu, Shangdong, Yeodong and Manju and Yeonhaeju. Archaic British Gazette Undermines Japan's Claim to 'East Sea' August 8, 2011 The body of water east of Korea was described as the "Sea of Corea" in a world gazetteer published in the U.K. in the mid-18th century, it emerged for the first time. This gives more international credibility to the neutral name that Korea demands the area be recognized by, the "East Sea," while diminishing Japan's claim that the "Sea of Japan" is the only acceptable reference. The East Sea was described as the "Sea of Corea" in a map of the world published by "The Universal Gazetteer," which was first released in London in 1760. In a separate chapter that introduces the major seas and gulfs of Asia, the gazetteer specifies that the "Corean Sea" lies between "Corea" and the Japanese islands. The 530-page gazetteer, which includes seven maps of the world, accurately describes Korea's geographical location. It states that the country lies at between 35 degrees and 43 degrees north latitude, and between 126 degrees and 136 degrees east longitude.
"In the past, some ancient Western maps were found to designate the body of the water as the 'Corean Sea' or the 'East Sea,'" said Prof. Kim Shin of Kyunghee University. "But this was the first time we have found the authoritative Universal Gazetteer of the U.K. to give the East Sea a clear geographic designation as the Corean Sea while displaying its exact location." Chang Dong-hee, who works as an ambassador for international geographical nomenclature, said, "This gazetteer carries significance because it backs up the legitimacy of the 'East Sea' name, as the body of water was described as the 'Corean Sea' in most documents published before the 19th century." The archaic document will be made public at an exhibition at the National Library of Korea from Aug. 10-17. It will feature alongside 100 ancient maps and books that also support the East Sea designation, including the first edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica published in Scotland in 1768. The archaic encyclopedia has been considered a trustworthy trove of knowledge in Western society since around the time of Britain's industrial revolution. It also describes the East Sea as the "Sea of Corea.

Some assertion about Dokdo from non-Koreans
Japanese Kyoto University professor Kazuo Hori
- Revealed old Japanese government document containing contents of "Ulleungdo and Dokdo is irrelevant with Japan."
Publicly revealed "Year 1877 Daijo-kan(former Japanese council of state) order" which proves that Dokdo is Korean territory.
* Daijo-kan order : Ulleungdo and Dokdo are irrelevant with Japan.
During Russia-Japan war Japan had found new militaristic value of using Dokdo and forcibly included Dokdo as Japanese territory, and current Japanese government pointed out that its a territory invasion based on Japan's militarism.
The Truth of Dokdo 2
Japanese historian Hideki Kajimura, former Kanagawa University economics professor
- Claimed that Japan's Preoccupancy of Ownerless Land Theory is de facto "Act of invasion on actual Korean territory" according to the international law
Japanese government made decision to incorporate Dokdo as Japanese territoty during Russia-Japan War.
* Japan's argument : Territory incorporated by Preoccupancy of Ownerless Land Theory ( meaning land with no people living in become owned by person who first discovers it)
5 years prior to such incorporation of Dokdo by Japan, according to the Korean Imperial Decree No.41, Korea has elevated Ulleungdo which had been subordinate to Uljin Prefecture to Uldo County and issued that Uldo County office shall rule over all of Uldo proper and its dependencies including Dokdo. The decree was published in Central Official Gazette and officially announced Dokdo as Korean territory in regard with international law.
Seichu Naito, Japan Shimane University emeritus professor
- Claimed "Japan has assured that they have no intention of possessing Dokdo by taking the measures of ban on crossing the sea near Ulleungdo in 1696"
Japan in Edo period and Meiji period, didn't express any intention of possessing Dokdo, publicly declaring that Dokdo is irrelevant with Japan
The Truth of Dokdo 3
Mark Seldon, United States Binghampton University emeritus professor in history and sociology
- Announced "According to the San Francisco Peace Treaty, Japan has nothing to do with Dokdo."
After borders were settled according to the San Francisco Peace Treaty, the international community has continuously acknowledged the binding power of the treaty with no big alteration.
* San Francisco Peace Treaty : Contains regulations regarding settlement of territory bounds between nations after World War Ⅱ.
United States National Archives discovered a map that was used during San Francisco Peace Treaty which shows that Dokdo is excluded from Japan's territory
Jon M. Van Dyke, United States University of Hawaii professor in law
- Announced " There exists a record of Tokugawa Shogunate(Japan's feudal government) admitting Dokdo as Joseon(former Korea)'s territory in 1693."
In 1905 Japanese government argued incorporation of Dokdo as Japan's territory based on Preoccupancy of Ownerless Land Theory under international law. This shows Japan's acknowledgement that Japan did not have ownership of Dokdo before 1905.
Korea continuously had actual dominance over Dokdo since 1954.
Germany, Sueddeutsche press
- Rather repenting colonial rule over Korea, Japan is leaving alone the claims regarding Japanese ownership of Dokdo which is carried out by minority far-right groups.
Regrading Japna's claim over possession of Dokdo, Japan needs to accept korea's actual dominance over Dokdo. The reason Japan is continuously bringing up dispute over Dokdo's ownership is because Japan's politicians are not keeping distance from far-right groups but rather Liberal Democratic Party is sumpathizing with them. This is analyzed as since long before Japanese government has been captive of right-wing organizations.
Valery Glushkov, deputy director of Russia's Institute of the History of Sciences and Technology
- Russian Historical documents prove Dokdo as Korean territory.
As Japan surrendered World War Ⅱ, Dokdo is not owned by Japan.
Pointed out that Dokdo is not written as Japan's territory in the San Francisco Peace Treaty
- Revealed old Japanese government document containing contents of "Ulleungdo and Dokdo is irrelevant with Japan."

In 1905 Japanese government argued incorporation of Dokdo as Japan's territory based on Preoccupancy of Ownerless Land Theory under international law. This shows Japan's acknowledgement that Japan did not have ownership of Dokdo before 1905.
Korea continuously had actual dominance over Dokdo since 1954.
Germany, Sueddeutsche press
- Rather repenting colonial rule over Korea, Japan is leaving alone the claims regarding Japanese ownership of Dokdo which is carried out by minority far-right groups.
Regrading Japna's claim over possession of Dokdo, Japan needs to accept korea's actual dominance over Dokdo. The reason Japan is continuously bringing up dispute over Dokdo's ownership is because Japan's politicians are not keeping distance from far-right groups but rather Liberal Democratic Party is sumpathizing with them. This is analyzed as since long before Japanese government has been captive of right-wing organizations.
Valery Glushkov, deputy director of Russia's Institute of the History of Sciences and Technology
- Russian Historical documents prove Dokdo as Korean territory.
As Japan surrendered World War Ⅱ, Dokdo is not owned by Japan.
Pointed out that Dokdo is not written as Japan's territory in the San Francisco Peace Treaty

South Korea hoping to be chosen as host
South Korea is hoping that its city of PyeongChang comes up trumps when the host of the 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games is announced at the 123rd International Olympic Committee (IOC) session at Durban's International Convention Centre in two weeks.
More than 2,500 sports administrators, media, business and political leaders are|expected to attend the session, with the highlight being the announcement of the 2018 winter games host city.
PyeongChang is up against two European rivals - Munich, Germany and Annecy, France. The city wants to bring the winter games to South Korea for the first time and to Asia for the third time. Both France and Germany have hosted the event previously.
The city was labelled the favourite in the bids for the 2010 and 2014 games, but was beaten by Vancouver, Canada and Sochi, Russia.
Bid chairman and Korean Air boss Yang Ho Cho said while they were very confident, they would not rest and would be campaigning until the end.
"We can't afford to relax until voting day on July 6 in Durban. The message we are sending to the IOC members is that with PyeongChang is a huge opportunity to grow winter sports in Asia - a market with huge potential. The important thing is to show that we have the capacity and the passion to host this event, and that's what we are doing," said Yang.
Bid committee operations co-ordinator Dan Moon said more than 80 percent of the South Korean population backed the bid.

PyeongChang to hold Olympic bid presentation in Togo
PyeongChang, a South Korean candidate for the 2018 Winter Olympics, will hold a bid presentation before International Olympic Committee (IOC) officials next week in Togo, its bidding committee said Wednesday.
The committee said PyeongChang's two rivals, Munich in Germany and Annecy in France, will also present at the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) General Assembly next Tuesday. The committee added it will be the candidates' final joint presentation before the IOC votes on the host city at its General Assembly on July 6 in Durban, South Africa.
PyeongChang, an alpine town located about 180 kilometers east of Seoul, is bidding to host the country's first Winter Games. It came up short in two earlier bids, narrowly losing to Vancouver, Canada for the 2010 Games and to Sochi, Russia for the 2014 edition.
PyeongChang officials said Kim Yu-na, an Olympic gold medalist in ladies' figure skating and an honorary ambassador for PyeongChang, will be a presenter. Joining her will be Cho Yang-ho, head of the bidding committee, and Park Yong-sung, president of the Korean Olympic Committee (KOC).
PyeongChang has built its case around running a compact, athlete-friendly Olympics with all venues within 30 minutes of each other, and on building a new legacy for winter sports in Asia.
Japan remains the only Asian country to have hosted the Winter Olympics -- 1972 in Sapporo and 1998 in Nagano.
The candidate cities last held a joint presentation in May at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
There are 110 vote-wielding IOC members, but those from candidate cities' countries plus the IOC President Jacques Rogge aren't eligible to vote.
Rogge can only vote in case of a tie in the final round of balloting.
